Former Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member and star of Barbie, Kate McKinnon, made a triumphant return to the show on Saturday night.
In a brutal sketch that had everyone talking, McKinnon mercilessly mocked Meghan Markle and her royal drama.
Known for her celebrity and political impressions, McKinnon portrayed Markle in a parody of the popular series, The Crown.
In the sketch, she depicted Markle as a manipulative and greedy woman who used Prince Harry to gain fame and fortune.
The sketch began with McKinnon’s Markle introducing herself as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, but humorously insisting that she be called Princess.
She announced her plans to share her side of the story in a documentary series titled The Scheme.
From there, she proceeded to narrate her life as a royal, exaggerating her hardships and achievements, while poking fun at other members of the royal family.
In her portrayal, McKinnon’s Markle claimed to have endured racism, sexism, and abuse from the media, the public, and even her own family.
She asserted that she had sacrificed everything for love, giving up her acting career, friends, family, and country.
According to her, she was confined to a dungeon in Windsor Castle, devoid of privacy, freedom, and any semblance of fun.
Not stopping there, McKinnon’s Markle boasted about her supposed accomplishments.
She declared herself an inspiration to millions, claiming to have changed the world and made history.
She took credit for creating a global brand, a media empire, and a humanitarian foundation.
In her narrative, she positioned herself as the most influential and powerful woman in the world.
The other royals did not escape McKinnon’s mockery, especially Prince Harry, whom she referred to as her “little ginger puppet.”
She asserted that she had seduced, brainwashed, and controlled him, ultimately making him renounce his title, family, and country.
According to her, she had transformed him from a prince into a mere loser, manipulating him to fulfill her every desire.
McKinnon’s Markle didn’t hold back when it came to Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and even Prince Andrew.
She hurled insults at them, labeling them as old, boring, irrelevant, and corrupt.
She claimed they had tried to hinder her and Harry’s happiness but boasted about outsmarting, outshining, and outrunning them.
In her narrative, she exposed them for who they truly were.
The sketch concluded with McKinnon’s Markle expressing her newfound freedom and happiness.
She stated that she had everything she ever wanted—a loving husband, two beautiful children, and a mansion in California.
Additionally, she boasted about her millions of fans, followers, and dollars.
According to her, she was living her dream and considered herself the true queen.
The sketch quickly gained traction on social media, with many praising McKinnon’s return to SNL and her hilarious impression of Markle.
Some individuals criticized Markle for her actions and behavior, believing she deserved the roasting.
However, others came to Markle’s defense, deeming the sketch unfair and mean-spirited.
Markle herself has remained silent on the matter, and her representatives have declined to comment.
